folks get on here an say that you are responsible for your wake but has anybody heard first hand that someone was charged for it.

You are wrong about the boat dock damage. Wake boats that come by a floating dock to close have wakes that are very close together that pound a dock relentlessly. They are also bigger than almost any waves made by wind on all but the largest of lakes. If a wake boat or even a worse a surf boat is 50 foot from a dock it wreaks havoc on the dock if that same boat is 500 foot away the waves have time time to settle some and spread apart from one another. Also on most lakes they are the largest boats out there.
The no wake zone or NO wakeboat zones are going to have to be enacted at many lakes. Also a larger zone for keeping away from other boats is going to have to be enacted. I see very few wakeboats that don't go out of their way to get close to other boats and close to shorelines with docks.

We'll have to agree to disagree. A wakeboard boat puts out a small set of 1.5 footers at best. Like I said, that could be an argument for expanding no wake zones but the weekend pleasure boat traffic's contribution to erosion and dock damage is negligible compared to a years worth of weather related waves on most parts of the lake

I doesn�t sound like you own or have owned a dock and personally watched the wakeboat damage. A fixed dock not so much but a floating dock yes. That is why many lake authorities have set up no wake zones 400 foot from docks. Lake Brownwood now has bouts out around 80% of the lake because of them. The smaller the lake the larger the problem.
Plus I�m yet to hear of a bassboat or even a regular old style ski boat wake capsizing a boat and causing deaths. Have you?

You can run any color you want or none at all when the game wardens won�t work the lake.

When we pulled out at 2 am the Game Warden was at the ramp looking up the lake with binoculars. I informed him of the 2 boats, he said he would watch for them.
